…………………..Foundation……………………..……….……….2nd SelfThis is Tarot Verbatim’s modified Celtic Cross spread, originally designed to, in six spreads, use each of 78 cards. When I did this, I noticed ‘3 sentences,’ with the last being the three-card outcome. The second, of course is the three cards below that, which Tarot spreads refer to as ‘the tower’ because this spread originally sprang from Celtic outdoor structures which had meaning for those people. The rest of the cards, the beginning part, is referred to as ‘the cross’ because, again, of outdoor structures.

.

Celtic Cross spreads, as you can see, have positions that cards’ meanings apply to. This is the standard way most Tarot readers read Tarot. (They pay less attention to the meanings cards have in common than Tarot Verbatim™ does.)

.

These positions suggest reading a clump of the cards together (Self-Cover-Cross, or as I think of it, Self-Situation-Problem is the first clump. Then you do the ‘arms of the cross, which are the horizontal and vertical pairs of ‘the cross.’

.

The question here is from the executor of a murdered man’s estate. Things are a mess, and Client has been threatened a lot, and had a lot of theft. Client’s belief is that the deceased may be helping out with the situation, which is really about Deceased’s business and life rather than Client’s. (Yes, I have permission to post this to you.)

.

Here is the answer these 13 cards say: I am seeking a way to be helpful to you (I love you), and I know all about the disasters, but good times are ahead because I have the power to make good things happen.

With nothing further being done, success and money are guaranteed.

You are being taken advantage of by friendly enemies, and I am taking charge of this, taking maximum advantage of the disadvantages to succeed so the situation is under control and bad times are over, and good times are ahead: That’s where it’s heading.

.

FIRST SENTENCE, THE CROSS:

Self- Cover- Cross or Self-Situation-Problem:

Hermit, Page of Pentacles x Knight of Cups

Hermit – “I am seeking a way

Knight of Cups – to be helpful (I love you)

Page of Pentacles – and I know all about

Behind – Ahead (horizontal pair)

Tower – Three of Wands

the disasters

but good times are ahead –

Foundation – Future (vertical pair)

because I have the power to make good things happen.

King of Pentacles – I have the power

Wheel of Fortune – to make good things happen.”

.

.

SECOND SENTENCE, THE TOWER:

2nd Self Card – Situation or Others – Turning Point or Hopes & Fears

Four of Swords – Ace of Pentacles – Ace of Wands

2nd Self Card, Four of Swords – With nothing further being done,

Situation or Others – Ace of Pentacles – success and money

Turning Point/Hopes & Fears – Ace of Wands – are guaranteed.

.

.

OUTCOME (3 CARDS IN TAROT VERBATIM)

Two of Cups – Chariot – Six of Swords

Two of Cups – You are being taken advantage of by friendly enemies

Chariot – and I am taking charge of this, taking maximum advantage of the disadvantages to succeed so the situation is under control

Six of Swords – and bad times are over, and good times are ahead: That’s where it’s all heading.

Here Are the Theme Cards

Hermit and Page of Pentacles, the first and second cards, both mean: I know and I am watching. Hermit and Knight of Cups both mean being helpful, being devoted, and having affection. Client is reassured from the beginning of these messages, you can see.

In the first Sentence (the cross part), both Future cards mean good things happening and both refer to money. Three of Wands is the future and money coming in and good things ahead. Wheel of Fortune is ‘happening’ and is a wonderful thing happening (even a miracle). It’s also destiny and fate.

.

Two of Cups, the ‘just past’ card in the third sentences

Tower is the Behind or just past card, and it means disaster in the first sentence. Two of Cups is friendly enemies taking advantage in the third sentence. Both refer to the same set of circumstances, of course.

.

Quite a few cards speak of a good future, money, success, and victory: Three of Wands, Wheel of Fortune, Ace of Pentacles, Chariot, Six of Swords.

.

This reading is clear and emphatic. Good for Client!

Tarot Verbatim Lessons

Her Comment: word for word:
"Amazing! I started Emily's Tarot Lesson's today and that is the word that immediately pops into my head. I have been struggling to learn tarot, especially putting cards together. I have quite a bit of tarot knowledge but Emily blew me away with her first Tarotverbatim lesson. I finally really "see" how the cards can combine, reflect a theme, tie together... how they speak! Wow!! I learned so much more than I even imagined I would! I recommend these lessons to anyone who wants to learn... to make your tarot speak!!! Thank you so much Emily!!!!"
